Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

At CU Denver, we live the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion every day. Diverse experiences and viewpoints enrich our learning and professional environment. Equitable access to educational success changes life-trajectories and strengthens society. A culture of belonging for all creates a more vibrant and productive community.

 

We also share responsibility for promoting and sustaining these principles on our campus and remain grateful to the many donors who join us in our collective commitment.
